hope and hopeless run side by side

making eachother known

i want to tell you why i need

the things i want to own

but you would tell me to grow up

and use my indoor voice

until im forced into the dark

crying in the night

The letter stared at her accusatorially from across the room. She could avoid it no longer.

Her hands shook as she broke the seal on the envelope and unfolded the page. Her eyes scanned the words several times, not believing what she read at first.

She laughed out loud.

The two doors

The hope of the heavens, and the hatred of the underworld.

They both contain the things I need, but with difficulties.

For one is a soft loving hug, and the other a embrace of loneliness.

They are as simple as good and evil, yet as complex as life and enternity.

Independent Parent

My life changed the day my child let go of my hand; she was a big girl now. Overwhelming pride fueled tears that flowed into creases in my cheeks as she ran to the playground.

Neither of us saw the car coming.

the seamstress

every word

is another blow

my self esteem a pile of rags

torn apart by your seamstress hands.

you said you'd fix me

but now i'm worse

than i was before.

why can't you

stitch me back together

and make me perfect

like you promised?

am i really beyond saving?

tech support

it's not intuitive I get it. but your facetiousness boils my blood; rage slithers to the top of my head, manifesting in pulsating blindness. moments, pass. suck in some air--breathe. it's not her fault. it's not worth the agony. equanimity is what I want, but I'll settle for sanity.

I stole a car

I stole a car last night

in my dream

where you were hiding

under the seat

put it in reverse

and you disappeared

even if someone is

still alive in real life

are they ghosts

if what we want

goes away

when we wake up

Where My Mind Goes

Why are the nights so much worse?

I've asked the questions, but no good reason heard.

I've fought to keep the anger away.

But until I change myself, the anger will stay.

But the truth? I don't want to be lonely, too...

Even if it means taking a hit....or two.

National Emergency

I can't shoot but he could. That's why my brother lives forever in the desert. Even now, when my dog barks, he jumps. I don't hear much of his genius anymore. He still hears all of mine. But I live forever in debt. That's why we both won't evacuate.

Two worlds!

I see two worlds

Yours and mine

Yin and Yang

Love and Hate

Us trying to escape

But we're holding on to something

My sadness comes on top

While your anger gets stronger

I see two worlds

Yours and mine

Sad and angry

What we now became

Are we fine?
